Another thing: I find it likely that just like current ownership and terms-of-service with electronic devices, bots on the market likely won't allow you to do certain things. Particularly certain "activities" that aren't even frowned upon by normal people might cause it to lock you out and require "maintenance".

Actual normal things that you might ask a human to do might not be allowed or might even artificially paywalled (even incapable of learning it if you could "teach" AI) such as knitting (anything that could make money) or any other type of service (imagine choking to death on the floor in your kitchen and hearing "I am sorry, as a sex bot I am not authorized to provide medical assistance. Please upgrade to Gold service plan to allow that feature, or Bronze service so I can contact outside services such as in the event of...").


Being a shut-in, I'd rather have my brain put in a (not that kind of) robot body. Unfortunately I know that's more complicated than an AI bot (robots are somewhat a thing now even with locomotion, just not there with power/cost) and unattainable for me unless my brain gets a free spot in cryo as a beta tester (which isn't currently legal before you've died naturally). Then again, I know that's an unhealthy thought (like "sleep would be a lot easier if I could just initiate it at any time" or "if I got my body replaced, most of my medical issues would be gone").

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
